Interactive Product Guides

February 2015

Interface validation: abort, retry, succeed

February 2015—When you go looking for problems, you’re bound to find them. That truism is especially pertinent in the arena of interface validation, as the team at New York’s North Shore-LIJ Health System discovered recently. The laboratory professionals there were charged with helping to implement the first phase of a joint venture with New York City’s Health and Hospitals Corp. (HHC), in which North Shore-LIJ would serve as the massive public health system’s primary reference lab.

The inside track in AP automation: new product guide

February 2015—Tissue processors, tissue embedders, microtomes, slide stainers—we tackled them all in our first-ever product guide to anatomic pathology automation. (Yes, we realize most tissue embedders are largely manual but included them because they are vital to the automated process.) Zeroing in on what questions to ask the vendors—that is, knowing what you, the readers, need to know—was no simple task.

Makeovers smarten core labs’ quality control

February 2015—In speaking to audiences all over the world about the intricacies of risk management through quality control, QC expert Curtis Parvin, PhD, has noticed a certain pattern over the past 10 years. Following his presentation, he’s likely to hear this reaction: “I’m not sure I totally understand that. It sounds pretty impressive, but how do you expect me to go through that process in my lab?”

Diagnostic perils of hematologic illness

February 2015—Like a modern-day Pericles, Tracy George, MD, had much to traverse in her overview of leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, and erythrocytosis during a course on diagnostic hematology at last year’s AACC meeting. Unlike Shakespeare’s Pericles, however, Dr. George navigated the many twists of her topic with the efficiency and near-encyclopedic knowledge of an experienced tour guide.

Liver donor organ evaluation

February 2015—CAP Press’ new Atlas of Transplant Pathology is now out. We spoke with its editors and a contributor last month; this month we bring to you one of its 56 chapters. To order, see next page. Protocols for histologic evaluation of potential donor livers for steatosis and other pathology vary by center.
